[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
My data works but for some reason no browser will ever open a web page but apps like facebook and xda etc. all work without a problem. On wifi the browser will work as well but not on data connection.

I tried clearing cache, rebooting, airplane mode disable and then enable but got some reason data won't work in browser. I tried stock and dolphin as well but neither worked.

Any ideas?

Btw I'm on miui v6

Same issue here, hardly believe it's network/carrier related.

On russian forum (4pda.ru) found a guy with the same issue on his Galaxy Ace: it looks like everything works after resetting to factory defaults, but before the first time you

1. are out of wi-fi network range

2. have wi-fi enabled on the phone

3. trying to use browser (looks like all you have to do is to launch it)

Surprisingly enough Opera Mini works. Opera Mobile gives (slightly) more informative message: "Error requested content (site name here) cannot be resolved". DNS related stuff? :confused:

p.s. mine has stock froyo for EMEA/CIS (XWJPF), no root
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talking_walnut:
Have you checked your APN settings to make sure they're all there and correct? solW might be right with it being a DNS issue.

Have you had the same problems with other ROMs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
It's not that data isn't working it's that it won't work in the browser only in apps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznboi625:
I also have the same problem...I was on v6 miui, then flash to twooey thinking it would fix the problem, but the issue is still there. I tried different modems also.

Samsung Galaxy S, Miui twooey Build, JK4
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
I still have the problem too. Try using opera mini that was the only browser for me that worked maybe it will work for you too
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solW:
Based on my previous idea about DNS issues, I've just tried to access sites directly and somehow it worked (not without any issues of course).

Using direct IP I was able to access google page and do some search, following the search results was out of the question. Similarly I got xda-developers.com to load (but only text - no images, flash, banners, etc.).

So it looks like it is DNS related issue. It would be nice if someone with rooted device could investigate this.

utsmaster18, could you try this on your device? just to verify my guess ...

For me, same issue, is there any way to uninstall/reinstall internet-google stuff from the android? opera mini 100% funcitonal, nothing with dolphin
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
Sorry I'm not understanding, what exactly do you want me to do? I'm not familiar with internet terminology. You want me to go to a website by entering in an ip address?

What's a signature?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solW:
Yes, you got me right. Try typing ip address instead of site name/link for several sites

For example: "www.google.com" in my case was replaced by 74.125.39.105, "www.xda-developers.com" by 50.23.231.74 (to get site ip address you can use ping in windows/linux/(don't know about mac ^)) command line, i.e. ping "www.google.com").

Full address should look like "http://74.125.39.105", but in stock browser just the numbers will be enough. This should give you normal google seach page instead of internal error as result. Just in case, clear browser cache before that

Ouch ... had to wrap some links in quotation marks, because forum does not allow me to post links yet :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mhaulo:
This is still not working for me. And still working Opera, I really think that is some sort of messed up configuration at the internet browser android comes with...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieeps:
sounds a bit like proxy problems of some sort, could you try resetting the browser to default settings?

Have you been using OpenVPN?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhousibo:
So did anything happen before this? Was it working before?

Reason I ask was that I had something similar when I flashed a different modem on a new ROM (even though the modem worked previously on a different rom). I flashed back to previous modem and it worked again.

Also thinking that APN may be the issue (possible ports configured which allow other apps internet access?). I would use download APN Global from market, backup my APN settings, delete and then use the database version pulled from the APN to refresh the APN's. So if it's not a modem issue (or haven't made modifications), then maybe try refreshing the APNs?

My 2c
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] utsmaster18:
Yeah it was working, even on the same rom but then just randomly it stopped working for some reason. I had never changed modems kernels or anything, it just decided to stop working.

What's a signature?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhousibo:
I am thinking it is APN issue. Any apps that could have potentially modified the APN's? I don't want to point to anything specific, maybe APN disabler? Otherwise, backup and get fresh APNs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatboy323:
Yeah guys, I recon it would be APN.

In my case APN settings sent to me by my provider (in a configuration message) were wrong because they included Proxy: and Port: values. However when I checked the settings on local forums they didn't have the Proxy: or Port: (they were left blank). So, as soon as I removed values from those two fields it started working again. And yes, opera mini worked despite having Proxy and Port fields filled. So try blanking those fields out and see how you go. Remember to write down the original values first in case you need to go back to them.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solW:
Yep, that'd explain name resolving issue. Recreated APN with access point setting only and it worked for me. Thanks for the solution
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yani2000:
I removed just the proxy setting in my APN and it worked on my friend's Galaxy Ace!

For SGS users no proxy setting needed to be deleted only leave the APN settings intact and save the APN (and wait for your phone to reconnect the data packet connection to your carrier).

Thanks!

Hey all!

Been reading the general, q&a, dev sections and getting mixed results on whether the new recovery realy is charging when powered off and if the NANDROID restore works as is should be. The S-OFF guide still tells the 4.0.1.5 is charging but few people reported it's not.

So what is the real deal with these two?

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zibams:
Hi Guys,Please i have been searching for a solution as regards changing my winmo's http header contents but no luck.

Furthermore,there are quite a few similar apps on windows xp,vista and 7 working flawlessly ie (proxifier,charles-proxy,proximitron[best] and some others).

i was wondering if our XDa-Gurus could help in porting this apps from .exe to . cab to work on winmo.

kind regards,

Zibamstereo:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ebobo:
If you manage to solve this please post here, because I'm interested too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zibams:
Ok Bro ..its like no one here wants to help or this question has been regarded as "frivolous".

Eithier way i found a clue but not a complete solution..a mobile proxifier app encompassing the features mentioned above.

However,the app is built using python programming and hence a barrier.i hope win-mo supports python so i can try porting the app to win-mo because it is based on a symbian platform.as soon as i succeed i will attach the required files here.any external help would be appreciated as well

Warm regards,

Zibamstereo

I tried to load the viperbloat mod but every time I run it, it says viperbloat doesn't exist. I tried through cmd and terminal emulator and still same answer and no work. Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Download my update. It 3.1.1 was pushing files to /vendor/bin which now no longer exist on perm root. I updated 3.1.2 to fix this. Enjoy :)

Hey thanks, but it still is failing to push the viperbloat file. it is saying

failed to copy 'viperbloat' to '/system/bin/viperbloat': Read-only file system

Unable to chmod/system/bin/viperbloat: No such file or directory

This is all that is said when I am running the .bat file. Am I doing something wrong, is my phone messed up? Please help
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Oh, I forgot to update that part of the script. Damn, sorry. Just use root explorer to mount rw then run the .bat file.
[HTC EVO 3D] azbigmike1369:
little bit of a noob, how to do this? sorry
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
Either use adb if you have it installed and just type adb remount then run the .bat or if you have Root Explorer, open it, tap on /system and then at the top there is a little white button that will say "mount r/w", tap that and then run the .bat file.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Can't you just do "adb remount system" to mount it r/w, then push it?
[HTC EVO 3D] azbigmike1369:
Thanks man, I remounted it and did it manually and it worked. Thanks, time to get ride of this stock crap haha. Thanks viperboy and K2buckley. Awesome work guys

[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
I just felt this post needed to be made as I felt this needed to be said. As most of you are aware, the devs have managed to get S-off and perm root. That being said, PLEASE USE IT CAREFULLY and understand what it really means. What having S-off and perm root mean is that you are taking FULL RESPONSIBILITY for your device. It means you are venturing outside of the proctections that HTC built into the phone. Nothing is wrong with that, and it is a great thing...HOWEVER, it is our responsibility to take responsibility for what we do to our phones. In other words, if you brick your device by attempting to mod it, don't try to trick HTC or your cell phone company into replacing your device. Don't lie to them as if you have no idea why your device stopped functioning. Actions like this are presumably what led to encrypted bootloaders in the first place. Think about it, a manufacturer doesn't want to foot the bill just because you destroyed your phone..and quite frankly they shouldn't have to. I say all this to say, we have S-off by way of the devs and HTC states they will also provide official S-off soon, however if you want HTC to continue providing S-off in the future and you don't want them to further encrypt future devices, then DO NOT ABUSE THIS! BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE! Happy Flashing! :)

[HTC Sensation] flipmatthew:
Okay. This is unique to say the least. But I can't say I disagree. Thank you for this post. You bring up many great points.
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
Thank you. I just think people need to fully understand what they are undertaking. I'm all for hacking our phones, but it just puzzles me how people will brick their devices (usually by not reading) then put one over on the manufacturer or the cell phone company to get it replaced free of charge, and then get mad when HTC starts shipping phones with encrypted bootloaders. I'm of the belief that encrypted bootloaders are a direct result of people passing their bricked devices off to the manufacturers and having them foot the bill for them experimenting with their phone. The more people do that, the less we will see hacker-friendly phones. So I just ask that people take the time to read and fully understand what it is they are going to do to their phone BEFORE they do it. There are too many people that seem to have the attitude of: "I'll do this (though I don't know what I'm doing) and just hope for the best and if it breaks it I'll just return it or get it exchanged."
[Motorola Droid X2] Randy11:
I have a Droid X2 running Android 2.2.2 that's completely bone stock (no root, nothing). I want to upgrade to the new prerooted Gingerbread build, and from what I've been reading, I'll need to root my current Android 2.2.2 using Gingerbreak, install bootstrap and then upgrade to the new prerooted Gingerbread build.

My question is, will the update essentially reset my phone and cause me to lose all installed apps, contacts, photos, text messages, etc? I'm new to the Android world and this will be my first time flashing an Android phone.. I've searched but I can't seem to find anything regarding this particular question.

Thank you for your time! :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
The only way to lose it with the update is if you wipe data/ factory reset it, other wise no, i kept everything :D Hope that helps, happy flashing xDD
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
I Highly recommend making a backup of everything (2.2.2) if you decide to sbf back, and then restoring ( after rooting, and cwm)
[Motorola Droid X2] Randy11:
Thanks, that's an excellent idea - I'll look into backing everything up first. When I root my current Android 2.2.2 using Gingerbreak, install bootstrap and then upgrade to the new prerooted Gingerbread build, I won't need to wipe data/factory reset the phone, will I? Thank you! :)

So I shattered my EVO's screen. The bits of glass posed a hazard so I've removed the glass and sensor by prying it off and slicing the connector, didn't open the phone. Aside from a good ding on a corner the phone is in great condition. The LCD screen is unscratched. I can't go without a phone for very long so I've purchased another. I'm hoping to get $100.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaiohk:
Hi my atrix 4g is running the stock rom 2.3.4 beta4 from kenne. And I found out that when I connect the atrix 4g to my laptop, it didn't go USB debugging mode, as I did switch on the USB debugging on the atrix.

Can someone give me a hand on this?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwick60073:
How did you determine it didn't go into debugging mode? Are any devices listed if you do "adb devices"? Did you confirm that debugging is enabled (settings->Applications->Development)?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaiohk:
Yes it didn't go to the debugging mode. I didn't try that. Yes I can confirm I enabled the debugging
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwick60073:
What did you expect to see? When you enable USB debugging it basically means that you can access the device using adb via a USB cable. Just connecting a cable does really change the look of the display, other than in the notification bar, the debugging icon will appear.

Have you tried connecting your Atrix to your laptop while in "Mass Storage" mode? Does that work?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaiohk:
I expect a debugging icon on the notifications bar.

I took some screen shot with the phone
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwick60073:
I never noticed that the icon doesn't show up on my notification bar. However, if I do "adb devices" from either my Win7 PC or Ubuntu system, it displays my device. Further, I can do "adb shell" and access the phone.

Therefore, I'm guessing your phone is in debugging mode and the icon is not being displayed.

I have just confirmed that the icon is not displayed on my Cherry Pi (0.4) or a stock AT&T build.
[HTC Sensation] redwoodflyer:
TL/DR:

It looks like the Sensation has a hair trigger LDI (Liquid Damage Indicator), as myself (see explanation below if you're bored) and another member have already had the dot turn red due to humidity condensing on a cold phone. The other member was a dev - can't recall the name, sorry - who has abandoned the Sensation due to being out $550, and I'd hate for anyone else to suffer a similar fate due to a crappy design on HTCs part. I've attached 3 photos that should help you prevent the LDI from being inadvertently tripped. There are other LDIs within the device, but those are hopefully not as prone to humidity as the exposed on under the battery - plus, they usually give you a warranty exchange well before they open up the old one.

Mods: I've combed through the TOS of the warranty and relevant consumer protection statutes, and can say with 100% confidence that this does not violate any laws/regulations or terms with the warrantors. If your phone fell into a pool and you lied about it - that would be another story, but that's not what my DIY is meant to protect you from. That being said, Make sure you remove the tape before you send/take your phone in, so as not to raise eyebrows and make your life difficult!

Blah blah:

About a week ago, we bought a Sensation from a very air conditioned T.Mobile corporate store in the humid southern USA. We left the store, and once I got into my car, I popped open the box to swap the SIM with another family member's, since the upgraded line was different from the person who would actually be using it.

Well, lucky me..the LDI was a nice pinkish/red color, which meant my warranty was toast.

We walked right back to the store, less than 10 minutes after we had bought it, and tried to explain to the manager that this BRAND NEW phone was indicating water damage. She put the blame squarely on me, even though it would have been impossible for me to leave the store, dunk the phone in water, dry off all traces of said water, and go back to the store in such a tight time frame.

Then it hit me: the LDI on the Sensation must be of the wicking variety, and the humidity in the air must have condensed on the cold innards enough to partially trip the sticker (similar to how water droplets will cling to a cold can of Coke on a hot muggy day).

They wouldn't budge from their stance to swap out the phone and notate how easily the LDI indicated damage, so we called Discover and initiated a charge-back. Because the total billable amount over the contract length is well over $1,000, I cited some legit sounding statutes and a case name that I made up on the spot, and threatened to contact the attorney general (mentioned the AG by name, but leaving that out so that I don't give away my state). The manager finally agreed to do a "courtesy swap" but said that if it occurred again, I'm on my own. Because of that, I figured that I need to cover myself since this occurred so quickly.

HTC Sensation LDI False Reading

Just today my wife went in to return our 2 HTC Sensations as the reception was not much better then our decrepid My Touch 3G's so we figured why extend our contract for the same poor coverage. Last night I spent a few minutes copying over the memory card data, formating and reseting the devices. I boxed everything up and my wife took them in to our local Tmo store today. She called me from the store during the return transaction and told me that the store rep had taken one of the phones to the back room. When he returned, he said that devices' LDI was trigger. Not knowing which of the phones he was refering to, I was unsure if it was mine of my wifes. I know that she is more careful then me, as I use my phone outdoors often, and regular sim swap between phones depending on what I am doing. T thought that I might have touched the LDI during one of the many times I have opened the phone. Well turns out the IMEI was hers, and I know that she did not get her phone wet. Anyway, they would not return that unit. My issue is, that I have read on the net that other carriers do not use the outside LDI as a proof positive of water damage, that if the LDI uin the battery compartment is red, they will open the device to see if the inner LDI's have also changed. In my case, it is highly possible that the spray used to put on the Ghost Armor may have triggered the LDI.

I think it should be standard practice to look deeer then the LDI under the backplate since that indicator is exposed to the elements by actions like battery slaps and memory card and/or sim card removal.:(:mad::(
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I wouldn't be surprised if they went in the back, got a lil water & oops oh look... the LDI is tripped...
[HTC Sensation] cybrslug:
So my wife brought the phone home that TMobile said has a triggered LDI. There is a round circle LDI bottom right corner of the battery bay. There is a rectangle LDI on the bottom right of the battery. And then supposedly there is one in the bottom right rounded corner of the device in a small little hole. When viewed from the side, the hole is parallel to the HOME icon on the face of the phone. That supposed LDI voided my return of the device even though the Battery Bay and Battery LDIs were unchanged.
[HTC Sensation] mobileman999:
I have triggered this on my handset, i think it was mositure on thumb after picking up handset after using a glass, because of the fit of the rear housing it has gone between and triggerd that even though rest of handset etc is bone dry, take care people as seemd to be very easy to trigger due to the flexing in the rear housing.

Now i will have to strip down and change sticker so my warranty stays intact
